Werewolf LIX: Anarchy in Fairytale Land Day 4 GAME OVER SHREK WINS!!!
 
Intrigue in Fairy Tale Land

Time comes and time goes and no matter how much life changes, the land of fairy tales is always there to ground us in uplifting and entertaining stories of good and evil.

Well, that’s all gotten a BIT convoluted lately. Hi there, I’m the Fairy Godparent and there is trouble afoot.

See, the Dragon has been Swooping about trying to snatch away every young lovely lady he can find, because he needs the princesses under his control to secure his power. Lord Farquad, you remember him, the guy that came up a little…short…in the Shrek movie? Yeah, well he’s back and he’s a ’little’ hot under the collar. Then there are the others, tons of them, all over fairy tale land. Everyone’s running amok trying to figure out wtf is going on.

And it all started with rumors that the Big Bad Wolf was back around. He had been banished for some time, but if the rumors are true, its nothing but bad news for our fairy tale friends.

The 5 little pigs got together and tried to organize the populace, yes, I said 5. Apparently someone decided on a pig roast that night….We haven’t seen or heard from the surviving 3 pigs…

Then blind Mice got all uppity and tried to rally people, but all they rallied was a huge round of laughter. What good could 3 blind mice do?

So here’s the thing. SOMEWHERE in fairy tale land, there are some wolves, some mice and some pigs. And the regular populace wants them all found and dealt with so that some semblance of normalcy can return. The only problem with this plan is that the populace is scheming for their own ends as well.


OK! Rules are posted below, Signups will be open until Sunday Evening, latish (Not sure exactly but I'l post here when they close) First Deadline will be Monday Night.

If you have questions or coments on the rules or Informatoin regarding the game please PM me with them.

The Rules

Players other than the teams allowed to do so may not discuss the game in any way outside this forum thread.

Deadlines and night Orders:
We will be using the 24 hour day.

Voting and action Deadlines will be 9 PM Eastern Standard Time, All voting and night orders will be accepted until precisely at 9:00 pm, anything posted or PM’d after 9:00 will not count. Deadline is set.

VOTING IS NOT AN ACTION! It is required however. Any player who does not get their vote in on time will be penalized 1 action the following day.

Lynches do NOT specifically reveal roles. There are a number of seer-type roles in the game, so lynching someone MAY not give away their role. There is always a chance that someone flailing fighting and whining as they are dragged of to the Bog will give something away, but don’t expect it.

All Actions must be in the following format:

Title: Day # or Night # Action for (player name)
MSG:
Move to: Location
1: Your action
2: List of items being used


Example:
Night 1 Actions for Schmidty
Move to: Ruined Tower
1: Kill RendeR
2: Battle Axe. Armor, Shield

Players may make 2 total actions in every 24 hour period. These actions may be PM’d to me at anytime up to the deadline. Actions will be dealt with based on the timestamps, so if you get yours in early, it will happen BEFORE someone who sends their’s in later.

Please always include the list of items you are using, there is a resolution phase that I follow to settle each encounter. Players attacking and defending will see weapons, and defenses used in the event.

After those items are listed you may add any questions or comments. I hope this isn’t too bothersome, but being my first GM game it’s going to assist me in keeping everything going smoothly.

NOTE: Just to restate this: Actions are NOT simultaneous! I will enact each action based on the time stamp it comes in with. As I process orders anything that may or may not affect other orders will be determined chronologically, with My common sense being the final deciding point (grin)

Results will be posted as soon as I can process everything and write up a small report.

Moving to a new region/area is NOT an action, each player may MOVE 1 time per 24 hour day. Note that certain skills/abilities may force players to move more than 1 time, however they cannot intentionally do so. Multiple movements will take place based on my own judgment of how orders and abilities interact.

RendeR 10-30-2007 01:45 PM

Roles: Any or all of the following roles MAY be in the game. Players will be notified of their roles, specific rules and winning conditions in their Private Messages.

Wolves: Big Bad, Den Mother, Tracker, Hunter, Pup(s)
Pigs: Super Sow, Wilbur, Piglet(s)
Evil Mastermind
Dragon
Lord Farquad
Little Red Riding Hood
Gingerbread Man
Pinicchio
Doris the Ugly Stepsister
Shrek
The Dread Pirate Roberts
Sir Lancelot Du Lac
Black Knight
Captain Hook
Tinkerbelle
Robin Hood
Peter Pan
Pied Piper
7 Dwarves (Happy, Bashful, Sneezy, Sleepy, Grumpy, Doc, and Dopey)
3 Bind Mice (Inken, Blinken and Nod)
Guenivere
Buttercup
Fiona
Others as needed =) Basically any Fairy tale Character, cute cartoon or Fantasy character COULD be in this game.

ITEMS
There are many itms in the game that help you attack, defend or take specific actions. The items themselves could vary from a rock or club to a full suit of shining armor or a magic wand. Actual items and their descriptions will come to you via PM. Items can be lost by death or by being lynched and thrown into the Bog of Eternal Stench. Some items are permanent and never fail, some have only a chance of working, others are one use only items. Many items are duplicated within the game, some are unique (This may or may NOT be known to the players)
Locations: Players spend each night in a location.

Ruined Castle Tower: This is the home of the Dragon, every person spending the night here adds 10% chance that the Dragon will discover you and attempt to eat one of you. Dragon gets bonuses for knowing his lair better than you when fighting within his tower.

Bog of Eternal Stench: This is where the Fairy Godparent sends the poor bastard that gets voted out each night. Once here a player MIGHT manage to escape with some elses help. Players held in the Bog are not dead, though while incarcerated they may not post in the discussion or vote on a lynch. If freed they regain full abilities as if they were never lynched. Players may spend the night here searching the same as the other locations.

Enchanted Castle: Home to the rulers of fairy tale land, unfortunately We don’t know who lives here! Whoever wins the game takes over the Kingdom!

Sherwood Forest: There is chance of each player being scared out of their wits and fleeing to another location, using up any remaining actions in the process.

Mines of Moria: This place is a maze of twisting twining hole. Don’t get lost in here! (There is a chance of players getting lost and staying here the following night)

Night Actions:

Search for items (1 Action): Self explanatory. Searching may or may not turn up anything useful.

Attack another Player (1 Action): They may attempt to kill another player with or without a weapon. Items belonging to both players will effect the outcome. Attackers and defenders start with a base % to succeed, this is NOT 100% and attacks may simply fail on their own. An attackers total score must overcome the defenders total score. For example, john wants to kill bill, they are both buck naked. John’s score is tested, if his attack succeeds, then I test Bill’s defense. If The defender is higher, the attack fails and the target knows they were attacked and possibly by whom(not the role, just the player) If the attack fails initially then it never happened, for whatever reason John just never got a chance to try.

Defend another player (1 Action): You may spend the night guarding someone of your choice. If that player is attacked the defensive total for BOTH of you will be totaled up and compared to the attackers score.

Spy on another player (1 Action): A player may follow another player for the night, this may result in one or both players discovering their true identities.


Lathum 10-30-2007 01:49 PM

Sadly I'll have to miss Render's maiden voyage, I have this little wedding thing coming up.

jeheinz72 10-30-2007 02:10 PM

I'll give it a go. Can't wait to see the ruleset! I've been itching to play again after I missed these last two due to vacation...

Damn man, where are your priorities???

Good luck with the wedding lathum, best to you and yours!

PurdueBrad 10-30-2007 02:53 PM

RendeR, I'ld like to be in.

hoopsguy 10-30-2007 03:10 PM

What is the expected start date for this?

hoopsguy 10-30-2007 03:11 PM

Dola - I think the real reason that Lathum is skipping this one is that he has already had to play a fairy in a game of werewolf (*shudder* - thanks again for that conversion PM, Anxiety - *shudder*)

Neon_Chaos 10-30-2007 03:18 PM

Sad to say, I will have to sit this one out as well. The last two games have been taxing for me. I am also heading out to California this Saturday for a one-week vacation with my relatives before I head back to the Philippines on the 10th.

ntndeacon 10-30-2007 03:29 PM

I am in! Just give me an axe and call me Jack!

Telle 10-30-2007 03:46 PM

I'll play.

sebastian0622 10-30-2007 04:01 PM

Hehe.

For those unaware, hoops is referring to a game I ran where gay people were fighting against a town of fundamentals. I had a conversion, and it wasn;t THAT graphic, but let's just say that Lathum and hoops were closer than they may have wanted. ;)

Do you still have it saved? I'd love to read it again. I lost all my WW stuff in teh move because it was on my work puter.

Abe Sargent 10-30-2007 04:29 PM

Because RendeR has stated that this game will havea 24 hour clock, I'm in.

I realized afer LAthum's ;ast game that I could'nt reasonably play a nimral game of WW while trying to write stories and such. For teh foreseeable future, I suspect I'll just be playing games with the 24 hour clock.

it was horrible

Abe Sargent 10-30-2007 04:56 PM

Besides, since RendeR's first game was one where I was GM, I figure that I should be a player in his first game as GM.

st.cronin 10-30-2007 05:14 PM

I'll play.

RendeR 10-30-2007 05:29 PM

Weird, I've had some posts not get published today..I answered the start date question already and its not in here....


I plan to start the game Monday to give everyone a few days off, and telle is gone for the weekend. I'll send out PM's VERY late Sunday or early Monday and the first deadline will probably be Monday at 8pm EST but that is definitely subject to change up to and including monday morning.

RendeR 10-30-2007 05:30 PM

Of course this is ENTIRELY hinged upon the current game ever freaking ending ;)

I had a game last I think 13 or 14 days (including playing through the weekend) before. This one isn't that long!

If Alan's game doesn't end by Christmas, I'm going to have to withdraw.

Barkeep49 10-30-2007 05:51 PM

In though I wouldn't object to being killed early again. It's nice having a respite from WW.

Not in my Inbox, but I believe the words were burned into my retinas so there may still be hope of retrieving it.

Chief Rum 10-31-2007 02:46 AM

I'm in.

Schmidty 10-31-2007 02:49 AM

I'll play if the game isn't too complicated. I'm finding that my weak intellect and inate laziness is a huge stumbling block for me when it comes to uber-intricate games.

Alan T 10-31-2007 06:44 AM

I'll play. I'm not traveling out of town next week any longer so I'm good until November 16th!

Thomkal 10-31-2007 07:40 AM

I suppose I should play this time. :)

Happy to have you back. I hope you find the right balance, which can be so hard to strike in WW :).

Wow, this sounds awesome! I'm so, so tempted.

oliegirl 10-31-2007 10:04 AM

I'm in...I'll be in and out during the day but wont be able to be super active...I will be around at night though.

hoopsguy 10-31-2007 10:17 AM

Good luck with the "actions based on timestamps" aspect of this game. I really wanted to do that in my last Marvel game, but pulled it back at the last minute because of concerns around fairness between time zones. I would love to have a good example of how this can work effectively to use (steal) for future games.

ArlingtonColt 10-31-2007 10:18 AM

I did it in both Spawn games, and to a lesser extent in Survivor, and it seemed to work just fine.

I don't really think it disadvantages anyone really. most people still won't be putting in ations or votes or anything really early in the day so the west coasters will still have plenty of time to act.

Passacaglia 10-31-2007 10:59 AM

I'll play.

path12 10-31-2007 11:05 AM

If I place a provisional order early and then revise it later, will the original time stamp apply or the time the revision was submitted?

This will depend on what you're revising and if anyone else put in an order that your revision would adversely effect. Case by case basis on that.

There is a small chance that someone's identity might come out immediately during the lynch, but no, not at a rule. The reason for this is that people can come back from the Bog of Eternal Stench. There is a mechanism in place to allow those incarcerated to be freed. Once freed they are back in the game full time. While imprisoned though they canot post or vote.

There are a number of other ways for all the players to discover other people's identity also, more than 1 seer type ability, trade of information for services, etc etc.

Attention.

hoopsguy 11-01-2007 09:53 AM

If you are still taking sign-ups I'll give this one a go. I was waiting to hear how far back my business trip was being pushed back before signing up. Looks like I'm in the clear for next week.

I only whore myself out for whatever my wife tells me to. She pimps me out...which explains why we are still poor!

RendeR 11-01-2007 01:14 PM

Signups are open until Sunday evening (I'm going to the Bengals/Bills game and Telle is out of town until late sunday also) So anyone that wants in SIGN UP!

RendeR 11-04-2007 06:52 PM

Signups are hereby closed. PM's will be going out over the next hours or so, depending on how much time my children allow me =)

Please do not post anything until I post that all PMs are out.

Thank you for Flying RendeR's Fairy Tales Airlines.

RendeR 11-04-2007 09:46 PM

The dawn breaks upon our favorite fairy tale characters all collected in a big open prarie. Everyone looks at each other going "WTF??" Not really sure why you're all standing there with your mouths open, you all mill about and chit chat.
Day 1 has begun, deadline is 9PM EST.


The game is afoot!

RendeR 11-04-2007 09:46 PM

OH, BTW...all the PMs are out, have at it!

Hey Render, when is the deadline? I'm seeing conflicting (8 and 9pm) in the thread.

Oh shit. I am very sorry path, I think I mistook your "yup" for a response to someone else instead of the signup that it obviously was at the time.

The good thing is You're in the game. I have spare roles for just this situation!

Thankfully every player has their own victory conditions.

Your PM is forthcoming!.



THE DEADLINE IS 9PM EST, I will pdate the Rules listing!

Great! Sorry, should have been more clear. Thanks!

RendeR 11-04-2007 10:22 PM

Ok, everyone now has their roles. Please PM me with questions, clarifications or obvious errors I may have made thus far =)

I'll be heading to bed soon so if I don't get back to you tonight I will try to get you a response asap tomorrow.

Let the inanity begin!

Abe Sargent 11-05-2007 12:07 AM

Evening all.

RendeR, I have some questions. We have wolves, mive and pigs. Are each of these their own factions with distinct winnign conditions at odds with everybody else, are some our allies, how does this work?

Chief Rum 11-05-2007 01:05 AM

I am a villager.

And, shock of shocks, I will be out all day tomorrow, as usual (Tuesday as well, although I will check in late like normal on both nights).

So I have to put in a vote now. This is your normal Day One vote. I have no reason for throwing it out there beyond randomness, or maybe a little past game experience. Anyone following my vote without good reason should, IMO, be looked at with strong suspicion.

VOTE TELLE

No real reason except I have it on good authority she's sleeping with the moderator.

Alan T 11-05-2007 05:35 AM

Checking in as well..

I'll second this post:

Curious how it works. I'm a good character from various fairy tales, but not sure how it works all together.

Poli 11-05-2007 05:42 AM

VOTE jeheinz72

No reason, he's just first on the list.

Barkeep49 11-05-2007 05:51 AM

You all should know AE wanted to vote for JH so much that he tried to do it six times.

Passacaglia 11-05-2007 06:08 AM

Hey RendeR, do you have to be purple? That looks awful against my skin. If you really want to keep that color, it's not a big deal -- I'll just highlight your text so I can read it.

Anyway, my actuarial exam is this morning, so I probably won't be here until this evening, and even then, I'll be focused on trying to see how well I did on it.

oliegirl 11-05-2007 06:15 AM

Checking in...I'm a villager, as always...I'll be able to check in at some point during the day, but won't be able to do much posting until later tonight b/c of my job.

Go Villagers!

hoopsguy 11-05-2007 06:42 AM

Well I was hoping for either Gingerbread Man or Dread Pirate Roberts, but no such luck. However, I do have a role that falls under "good".

Based on my PM I know of a couple of other roles that will be in the game as well, which may prove to be helpful if/when we are trying to validate someone's reveal.

Barkeep49 11-05-2007 06:43 AM

Taking a look at the roles and rules, I think there's a strong case to be made that we have multiple factions beyond villagers/wolves. How this will effect gameplay I'm not so sure. I feel like there's an awful lot we don't know, like what items are in the game or what they do, to name one example.

Based on my PM I know of a couple of other roles that will be in the game as well, which may prove to be helpful if/when we are trying to validate someone's reveal.

The Gingerbread Man interrogation is my favorite scene in the Shrek trilogy.

This is gonna take some getting used to, but I'm here and in receipt of my PM.

PurdueBrad 11-05-2007 07:52 AM

Good guy checking in. Looking over the rules again, wow, lots of action each night it seems like.

RendeR, I have some questions. We have wolves, mive and pigs. Are each of these their own factions with distinct winnign conditions at odds with everybody else, are some our allies, how does this work?



There are the obvious factions that are shown in the rules. Everyone in the game has a winning condition for themselves. Some more clear than others. If you have questions on your specific winning condition please PM me.

If your role has allies or other roles they need to interact with speifically you were informed of such in your initial PM, beyond that you're on your own =)

You may well find that some roles are definitely helpful to other roles within the game mechanics themselves, but this is something you must puzzle out or yourselves!


I'll switch to RED for my GM posts. Let me know if that color is problematic!

Well, I guess I don't mind an early vote if it means you're playing again. Good to have you back :)

Alan T 11-05-2007 10:46 AM

So Ardent's morning reminds me of the WW game where Jeeber was boxed mid-game and disappeard suddenly. I am guessing that we will be losing Ardent from this game because of Pollpalooza 2007 :(

Alan T 11-05-2007 10:52 AM

Based on this link:

http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/...ad.php?t=61903

I'm guessing Ardent won't be around much for the rest of this game.. so assuming he'll be inactive, I'll be voting for him today at least unless/until something else pops up

Vote Ardent

Lorena 11-05-2007 10:59 AM

Uhh... what'd I miss?

Ardent was having a little fun with the fact there were like 8-10 polls on the front page of the general discussion forum, so he added a few more (1 for like every upcoming top 25 college game for this week) :)

The polls currently up there didn't bother me much, and I laughed at Ardent's posting... but either way, the forum is serious business :) In order to not drive the conversation about that poll stuff into this game, there are a few threads in GD about it now that Ardent's polls were removed... Im simply voting him as I'm doubting he will be around this game so if I don't know who is bad I'll at least vote for someone who will be inactive.

Was he boxed for the polls? Or are you just assuming that he's going to be inactive? Or are you a wolf trying to get us to bandwagon on someone day 1????

Heh, out of everyone playing this thing I seriously doubt he'll come out and say, "Hey guys, I'm a wolf!"

I hope AE comes back and is just taking a bit of a break to cool down.

Lorena 11-05-2007 11:15 AM

and for the record, AE is not boxed, he's an "FOFC Survivor".

As far as I know he's not boxed.. but he posted saying he's done on FOFC for a while. All of that aside, I usually on day 1 like to vote for someone who is quiet, inactive or not going to likely participate. Often waiting till the end to see who doesn't show up. We've lucked into a wolf a few times that way, and worst case end up removing a good guy who isn't going to likely be around to use their role (if they have one) anyways.

If I had to choose between two people:

A) Player that may be bad or may be good and likely will be around posting in the thread, giving us clues to trap them or others with (if they are bad), or using their role (if they are good), and participating in the discussion

or

B) Player that may be bad or may be good, but won't be around much or hasn't shown to be around much so far, leaving us nothing to go on for them but doubt for 5-6 days that they are Under the radar

I'll almost always pick B. We've seen time and time again that the only days people usually hunt out Under the Radar people consistantly is days 1 and 2. After that people's votes are often reactions to events that have happened in the game and their interpretation of those events (either good or bad). The only times past the first 2 (or maybe 3) days that people really go after Under the Radar folks is when the collective mass runs into a wall and has no clue whatsoever whom to vote for.. and suddenly its reconsideration of UtR folks.

So considering its day 1, I much prefer my approach to randomly using Random.org, or picking from a list. I don't know if ardent is good or bad, but if he is good I figure he won't be around to use the role anyways.

Yeah, I am guessing he just posted the polls this morning for fun (I laughed at them at least), but then the reaction others had got him upset and he took off before getting in more trouble.

I'm hoping he'll be around again, but guess it wont be for a few days/week or so.

That's funny!!! Did he remove the polls or were they removed for him by others?
